This paper reviews some aspects of solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) and their
applications in the radon and other research fields. Several geometrical models for the track …

To our knowledge, this paper is the most comprehensive review to cover most studies,
published in the past three decades at least, of radon emanation measurements. The radon …

This study focuses on measuring the levels of naturally occurring radioactivity in the soil of
Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, as well as the associated health hazard. Thirty (30) …

Abstract The natural radioactivity (238 U, 226 Ra, 232 Th and 40 K) and radon emanation
coefficient for 57 soil samples belonging to alluvial, red, forest surface, slip-debris …

Radon (222Rn) generated within the grains of rocks, soils, building materials and other
materials by the radioactive decay of radium (226Ra) can migrate to the atmosphere. This …

Field experiments on soil radon and radium concentrations were carried out in eighteen
locations in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Soil radon depth profiles (10–100 cm) of loam, sand …

Highlights•High levels of uranium and radon were found in Silurian Black
Shales.•Correlation between radon coefficient and rock texture discovered.•Study provides …

Soil samples, from 70 points uniformly distributed over entire Slovenia, were analysed for
40K, 232Th and 226Ra using gamma spectrometry, and for 234U and 238U using alpha …

In the present study, the soil-gas radon concentration was assessed at different depth
intervals, ie, 15 cm, 30 cm, 60 cm, and 100 cm from the 30 villages of Jammu & Kashmir …

This handbook is an update of the 1993 version of the Data Collection Handbook and the
Radionuclide Transfer Factors Report to support modeling the impact of radioactive material …
